In this 60 minute recorded webinar, Eric J. McNulty, Associate Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard, explores the changing context of crisis leadership and provides concrete steps for building both capacity and capability among professional responders and other stakeholders.

Webinar Highlights

For the past 50 years emergency management professionals have developed and honed incident command and management processes and protocols. Widespread adoption of consistent management structures, roles, and responsibilities has improved outcomes. Now, in the face of increasingly complex and frequent natural and man-made disasters, a similar commitment must be made to crisis leadership according to Eric J. McNulty, Associate Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard. Leaders must attend to the human factors that improve or detract from performance within incident command and management frameworks.

McNulty recommends that leaders in emergency management focus on three factors to prepare their organizations, and the communities they serve, to succeed in a rapidly evolving threat environment: adaptive capacity, resilience, and trust.
